AFTER TRIAL

[whiterosefoes]

[Well then. After that horrifying end to the trial, Harriet is in kind of a panic mode, and with nothing really to work down from it. She imagines everyone else is the same way. Krone had previously seemed like the meeting-holding-adult type, but that was obviously shot to hell now. As the murdergame veteran, should she step up? Even though it hardly feels that way, when nothing had been like this.

Eventually, she can be found reluctantly pasting up a notice on the back of some sheet music.]

Meeting in the parlour.

[She thought about writing, "for information gathering", or maybe, "for story telling", since they need to make some actual progress, or since Akko liked stories. In the end, though, she doesn't want to discourage any particular types, so she just leaves it at that and brings her bowl of weird fruits for those who would rather try their luck with these than horror foods that possibly come out of killer muppets.]

I'm not having too much trouble. Since I've been trapped in a time period like this for months before. It basically looks the same as magic, anyway.

[See, if he knows magic, she can adjust. Harriet couldn't tell at a glance if he's a ye olde or not.]

[And he's definitely thinking Harriet is sounding more and more like Dana, but that's fine since he can understand that based on his experiences with the Eternian girl.]

Okay, magic I can get a bit more. Most people can't use it, but I've seen it a few times. Truly, I can understand weird phenomena far more than why a person would act so strangely as some here have.

[Harriet mulls that over, taking a sip of the coffee.]

If you're talking about Krone.... we ought to let that go. She had a point after all. We foolishly jumped at her for being uncooperative, but in the end... the injury check wasn't needed at all.

It just shows that rather than rushing to blame someone, we should really solve trials based on the evidence. We have to do better... we came really close to not avenging Akko, and that would have been all of our faults.

That's why I suggested we get to know each other more as well. I can't help but think that if we knew her circumstances better that we could have come up with a better way to compromise.

[He takes a sip of his own coffee.] Just kind of reminds me of things back home. Similar situation of a bunch of people who are in one place not because they wanted to be. We all have a common goal of wanting to survive to get back to our homes. I'd like to think everyone here has that goal too and I'd like to hope that we won't have another trial.
